"He has been banished from his own home and comes to live on earth among trees and plants, may-beetles, hedgehogs, frogs, owls, larks, foxes, and other animals. Each chapter, narrating some vivid dramatic incident among the animals as witnessed by the Sprite, is an almost complete story within the story which tells of the Sprite's quest for his ideal. For the Sprite is an exquisite knight of the south, a Galahad of the fairy world". Bookseller Inventory # 4493
